Mu Xiaoxiao was intoxicated by the Moonlight Beauty's beauty, murmuring, "Moonlight Beauty, shall I go with you?"
"Hmm?" The beauty curved a gentle smile.
"I mean, I want to go to Jiangnan with you. Are you welcome to that?"
"Of course. Traveling with Xiaoxiao would be my greatest honor."
"Yay, wonderful!" Mu Xiaoxiao rushed over and ruffled the Moonlight Beauty's hair, laughing, "Oh, such beautiful hair, I've long wanted to mess it up! Hahaha..."
The Moonlight Beauty extended an arm, embracing Mu Xiaoxiao and drawing her close. Her hand gently caressed her hair, softly laughing.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt her nose grow sour: "Moonlight Beauty, when you get married and have a new bride, will you still be this good to me?"
"I will."
"Will you always be this good?"
"I will."
"Will you always, always, always be this good?"
"I will."
Mu Xiaoxiao was satisfied and giggled.
"Oh, what a foolish love under the flowers and moonlight..." Xie Xiaobai Guo laughed charmingly: "Master, are you teasing little Yue Yue or yourself?"
"Just teasing you! Hehe, a comedy line~"
Xie Xiaobai Guo leaned over, pressing close to Mu Xiaoxiao: "Let's squeeze together, it's cold~~"
Mu Xiaoxiao was almost pushed off, glaring angrily at Xie Xiaobai Guo and spitting out: "Your shameless appearance has the exact spirit of me wearing split-crotch pants."
Moonlight Beauty knew about Xie Xiaobai Guo’s venomous tongue and understood that arguing with him would yield no advantage, so she chose to remain silent, quietly watching Mu Xiaoxiao’s pure white sleeping face.
Xie Xiaobai Guo punched into cotton and naturally wouldn't give up easily, continuing to provoke Moonlight Beauty: "Little Moonmoon, do you know that I once saw my half-naked chest and got so excited that my nosebleed gushed out~~ Alas, when a person is charming, even clothes can't hide their allure... there's nothing I can do..." Xie Xiaobai Guo shook his head and sighed, but his mouth was already grinning.
Moonlight Beauty finally couldn't help but smile gracefully: "Naturally, Brother Xie has been immersed in the Moon Tower for so long, and naturally has mastered its essence. In the art of seduction, I indeed am far inferior to you."
This seemingly gentle Moonlight Beauty, when being venomous, was not at all inferior.
Xie Xiaobai Guo laughed: "Brother is too modest. Our Moon Tower's seduction is too obvious at first glance. But your seduction is hidden beneath a pure appearance, often catching people off guard. Invisible seduction, that's the essence of the art! It seems you're also a master of hidden seduction!"
Xie Xiaobai Guo fully demonstrated the spirit of self-deprecation combined with deprecating others, hoping to achieve the goal of belittling others through self-deprecation.
Moonlight Beauty cooperatively nodded: "I deeply agree with Brother Xie's theory. However, since Xiaoxiao has chosen to sleep with me, I can't refuse... you!"
Xie Xiaobai Guo quickly jumped onto the bed, nestling against the wall, tightly hugging Mu Xiaoxiao.
Moonlight Beauty extended two fingers, quickly tapping Xie Xiaobai Guo's wrist, forcing him to release his grip around Mu Xiaoxiao's waist.
"Heh, who would have thought the gentle one also knows martial arts? No wonder you're so arrogant. Come, let me practice with you!" Xie Xiaobai Guo joked while already engaging Moonlight Beauty with one hand, still firmly holding Mu Xiaoxiao's arm.
Just then, Zhao Changping's roar came from outside the door: "Mu Xiaoxiao, is there a thief in your room? Should I come in and check?"
The two immediately stopped and held their breath in the darkness.
Zhao Changping thought he was half-asleep and had misheard, scratched his head, and went back to sleep.
"Ah..." Mu Xiaoxiao woke up and screamed. Zhao Changping had been walking around but hadn't seen them, and was feeling irritated. When he heard Mu Xiaoxiao's scream, he rushed over and saw—three people in one bed...
At this point, Mu Xiaoxiao stopped yelling and complained: "My bones are about to fall apart!"
Zhao Changping's heart was screaming—what a collapse...
Mu Xiaoxiao originally didn’t have the heart to let Zhao Changping freeze outside and wanted him to come back, but he said he would rather freeze outside than watch their threesome. Damn, what’s this threesome about? Mu Xiaoxiao was almost driven crazy by this question along the way.
The horse-drawn carriage traveled forward, arriving at a small town near noon.
"Are you hungry, master?" Reminded by Xie Xiaobai Guo, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized how hungry he was!
"Hehe, shall I sacrifice myself for you to eat?" Xie Xiaobai Guo said with a coquettish smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked him over, then pouted: "Not enough for me to eat."
The moonlight beauty smiled brilliantly, like peach blossoms blooming in spring. Mu Xiaoxiao was about to steal a kiss when he heard a horse's neigh. Mu Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain to see Zhao Changping flying out and embracing a woman. Mu Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "Wow, he can fly without a wind fire wheel!" Before he could finish speaking, he saw them tumble to the ground.
Mu Xiaoxiao jumped down from the carriage and walked over, seeing a beautiful woman's face. What caught his eye was her fair skin, her gaze fixed on Zhao Changping.
Noticing Mu Xiaoxiao nearby, the woman's face suddenly blushed. Zhao Changping was attracted by this rosy color until Mu Xiaoxiao kicked him, forcing him to reluctantly get up. He then reached out to help the woman up.
The woman was shy, her face growing redder, but her eyes becoming brighter.
She wore a light blue gauze outer garment with a pure white cotton inner layer, looking fresh and elegant. The simple yet exquisite tailoring highlighted her grace. Her slender figure, petite but with a feminine charm, moved with a fragrant breeze. Such a beautiful girl had Zhao Changping completely entranced.
Mu Xiaoxiao, not good at reading the atmosphere, rushed up and punched Zhao Changping: "Why are you bullying this woman? Hey, if you're desperate, I'll take you to a brothel to find a beautiful girl. Just bear with it. How could you bully this woman on the street!"
Zhao Changping was so angry he wanted to strangle her, especially with the beautiful woman right there!
"Miss, you misunderstood," the woman bravely said. "He didn't bully me. He saved me. I wasn't paying attention and almost got trampled by a horse. Fortunately, this gentleman rescued me."
"Oh, a hero saving a beauty," Mu Xiaoxiao understood. Looking at the woman's expression, he fully realized what happened and took the girl's hand: "We're traveling. Why don't you come with us!"
The woman hesitated: "I..."
"Yangzhou~~ We're going to Yangzhou~~ Miss, come with us!" Xie Xiaobai Guo used a seductive voice and threw flirtatious glances.
The woman was stunned by this extraordinary man, taking a while to recover. She told Mu Xiaoxiao: "We'll meet again, but I can't travel with you. By the way, my name is Yang Yanling." Her eyes kept darting towards Zhao Changping.
Zhao Changping was also looking at her shyly.
Mu Xiaoxiao laughed, "Two shy people! His name is Zhao Changping, let me introduce him. I'm Mu Xiaoxiao. Next time we meet, please call me sister~~" Hmph, Zhao Changping, I'm waiting for you to call me sister!
Entering Yangzhou City, the weather gradually began to warm up. The winter sunlight slowly spread, occasionally shining on bright copper buttons, reflecting a scattered halo, subtle and warm.
